SC Prestare / Grinder’s

Knife sharpening, scissors sharpening, big or small, is an art that one learns with time. Mr Alexandru has been a whetter for many years now, working in the only workshop for sharpening still open on Kogalniceanu Bvd.

For kids these days to guess what a whetter does requires a lot of imagination. Because of the noise the polishing stones make when they constantly rotate. Whetting is a although loud, solitary kraft.
